{"product_id":"give-thanks-leaf","title":"Give Thanks Leaf Embroidery Design, Instant Download","description":"\u003cp\u003eBig orange maple leaf sits centre frame, filled with a flat tatami stitch that gives it that real leafy warmth. Laid right across the leaf in bold black calligraphy are the words 'give thanks', with the script sitting wide enough that it spills slightly past the leaf edges at the ends. Its the kind of design where the text and the shape feel like they belong together, not like one was stuck on top of the other. 2 colours total, 1 colour change, and the leaf-to-script contrast does all the visual work.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eStitch range runs from 5,026 stitches at 2.4 inches wide up to 15,124 stitches at 5.6 inches wide, so ya have 5 sizes to work with across that range. The tatami fill on the leaf is smooth and sits flat without puckering, which I digitised that way specifically so the black script on top stays readable and doesnt get lost in a bumpy underlay. Wilcom EmbroideryStudio handled the overlap cleanly so you dont get bleed-through from the orange into the black calligraphy columns.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA customer who runs a cabin rental up in Vermont got in touch last november about this one. She wanted something for the linen dinner napkins she puts out for thanksgiving week guests, and also for a wooden embroidery hoop shed hang as decor above the fireplace. She stitched the largest size in the hoop on natural linen and sent me photos. It looked like something youd pay alot for in a boutique homeware shop honestly.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eUse a firm cutaway stabiliser, especially on the bigger sizes because the dense tatami fill needs solid backing. Stitch on natural linen, cream cotton canvas, or a thick hessian-style fabric for the best result. Avoid stretchy knits, the leaf fill will pull and warp the shape. Pick an orange thread that reads warm rather than neon, a rust or amber shade works better than a bright orange here.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBest placement on a kitchen tea towel is off-centre toward the bottom corner, the leaf shape naturally balances against the hemline. Pop the 3-inch on a cotton napkin ring or a small burlap favour bag for a thanksgiving table place setting too, it stitches up quickly and the 8 trims mean clean stops between colours.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Re Embroidery","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45850841350294,"sku":null,"price":2.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0699\/6262\/9270\/files\/GiveThanksLeafMachineEmbroideryDesign.png?v=1763523645","url":"https:\/\/reembroidery.com\/products\/give-thanks-leaf","provider":"Re Embroidery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
